I've just started reading The Wager. I'm a sucker for ship based media, and I'm hoping this'll be no exception.
It's my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president

Nice. I finished the final book a couple of weeks ago. It's one of the best series I've ever read!
Have either of you tried the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind? It was written after Wheel of Time and I feel like Terry borrowed/stole some ideas from Rober Jordan but personally I think the Sword of Truth was better written.
I liked the sword of truth series (and read the lot) but I think it was written for a younger audience than WoT - or maybe it just came out that way. What do you think? Zed is a great character, his exclamations like "bags" made me laugh when reading it.
I gave up on WoT when I got near the end of the series and had to wait for new books, then Robert Jordan died and I just never finished them. Is it worth picking them back up? I always had a doubt that Sanderson could finish them off in a fully satisfying way, even if he did have notes from Jordan.
I would say that it's worth picking them up. Brandon Sanderson does a pretty good job. It's not the same as Robert Jordan, but it doesn't have to be. He does a goes job of capturing the feel of the series. And it reads differently from his own books, which isn't easy to do. And I love how the story unfolds in the last book. There were definitely some story points I did not see coming.
I've also heard he did a great job.
